Erik Sviatchenko
34-Year-Old
Houston Dynamo
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sviatchenko had a mediocre 2024 season, but there was at least some positive progression from 2023. The Danish defender produced seven clean sheets, netted a goal and delivered three assists (including playoffs). In 2023, he didn't have a goal contribution and produced just four clean sheets. After starting 31 matches last season including the playoffs, he should begin 2025 as a regular with the hope he continues getting work on set pieces after reaching 21 shots on target a year ago.
Starting Wednesday
Sviatchenko (lower body) is in the starting squad for Wednesday's trip to Real Salt Lake.
ANALYSIS
Sviatchenko was questionable following a two-week absence, but he's ready to record plenty of minutes in the midweek matchup. After that, he'll remain in a rotation with Agustin Resch and Antonio Carlos. The Dane has scored two goals this year across all competitions and has racked up more than two clearances in six of his seven league outings, though his potential has been offset by his constant fouls.
